Pelosi: House will move to transmit impeachment articles next week

You mean it's an existential threat?

I'm studying that myself.

I see a lot of smoke going into the atmosphere from the power plant, and people tell me bad stuff comes from a car's exhaust pipe, which goes into the atmosphere as well.

There are these scientists around the world, who after more than a century of studying the cause and effect relationship between we humans and all that smoke, have concluded that we have a global emergency. An imminent threat, if you will.

Then there's this guy on AM radio who says these scientists are lying.

Who to believe...who to believe...

I never paid climate change much of a mind. It's irrelevant in my choosing who to support and who not to. I think there are around 100 more important issues to tackle than climate change. I doubt if the human race will be around that long to notice the impact if indeed it is man made or just mother nature going through one of her normal cycles.

You won't see me commenting on climate change threads much. It just doesn't interest me. Although I do get peeved at having to pay that extra two, three or four thousand dollars for a new care. The emission checks every years gets my goat, but I live with them.

Impeachment in the House is a political process. They can impeach for whatever they want. If the People say, "Trump eats to many Big macs, we want him out!", they can impeach him for that. Impeachment is the ultimate expression of the People's political will.

It is the ultimate expression of the abuse of power and political bias of whatever party controls the House.

Are you saying your above claims are specific to only one chamber of one branch of government? Good luck with that ...

Because it's a trial?

The House had witnesses who provided sworn testimony. Democrats felt this testimony was enough evidence to impeach Trump. This same sworn testimony can be used in the Senate. We don't need to hear the witnesses say the same things they already said in their sworn testimony in the House hearings. We already have their testimony. So, we can use their testimony from the House hearings as witness testimony in the Senate. We can just replay their testimony in the Senate.

Then how the witnesses cross-examined by the Senators? You don't make sense, here.

In addition, what about the first person witnesses that Trump denied the People to access? The witnesses that could put this all to bed in a few minutes?

And what about the key witness we need - Trump?

The 70% of americans that want witnesses understand exactly what he meant by that.

The 30% of cultists who do not want witnesses I either to stupid to understand or are willingly ignorant...

The Clinton trial was preceded by Starr's investigation, impeachment in the House, and it still called witnesses. We can just replay what we can of that template.

Plus, Bolton hasn't testified yet. I want to hear what he has to say. I want the truth, don't you?

It's the left/liberal mindset. People are born with a gene where what gives them pleasure in life is just protesting. Doesn't matter what. They will always find something to protest. One thing I always wanted to protest (but I wasn't born with the protest gene) is that far to many cheese companies don't put enough holes in their Swiss cheese. It really bugs me when I have to use Swiss cheese with too few holes. I mean, seriously, that's what Swiss cheese is. But, I'll leave it up to the left to protest this.

Most of the cultists seem to have taken up armchair lawyering as a hobby.

They do call it a trial. Unfortunately the court in which it is being held looks more like:

This is true, however if they go for the sham trial the 70% of americans who actually want the truth will recognize just how corrupt the right is...

Polosis delay brought the fact that Republicans not only do not the truth but Moscow Mich just last week signed a petition to drop charges.

Yeah this is going to be a fair trial...

There's nothing wrong with admitting there is not enough evidence to persuade Republican Senators to vote to convict Trump.

Then why did you do it? For political mileage maybe? The founders had a reason to set the bar at 2/3's. They wanted to stop partisan sham impeachments.

Hell, if they'd just expand their media consumption beyond hate radio, FOX and Twitter, they'd learn enough to at least appear informed.

Witnesses are generally called in a trial. I know that the Senate trial will be a sham, but it sure would be great to get some people under oath.

We already heard from the witnesses. We can use the same witness testimony from the House and use it in the Senate trial. But, we don't need to hear them say the same things we already heard. We'll just use that testimony. You know, the testimony where, when asked, they responded that they did not witness Trump committing any bribery.

It's a red flag that he is taking our worlds biggest threat seriously.

Apparently you have not been paying attention to all the people worldwide that are migrating to higher ground...

First, as you admit, it's no different than any other President. Second, Mexico is not paying for it. So we're gonna have to count that promise as a lie.

Republicans don't care who pays for the wall. Only Democrats do and Democrats are on record as saying they don't want a wall even if Mexico were to pay for it. And, money in politics is a shell game. You can easily move the shells around to show that Mexico did pay for the wall. I seriously don't understand the left's talking points on this issue. Do you really think you are going to talk a Trump supporter into voting for a Democrat next election just because Mexico didn't pay for the wall? Seriously?

Not to mention Giuliani, remember he has been to the Ukraine, (paid for by Putin) collecting evidence that I'm certain trump wants to be shared with the Senate...
